More bad news for biodiversity. The Modify climatic it will endanger the lives of half of coral ecosystems by 2035. They could disappear forever. Hawaii researchers used climate change projections to simulate the impact of certain factors tension for the corals. These are seawater temperatures, ocean acidification, tropical storms, land use and human growth.
64% of coral reefs will be affected by at least one of these factors by 2100. 2050 is the year when environmental conditions are expected to be unsuitable for the world’s corals. However, by 2055, most of the world’s coral reefs will face unsuitable conditions based on at least one of the stressors.
We know that corals are vulnerable to rising seawater temperatures and marine heat waves due to climate change. But it’s important to factor in the full anthropogenic impact and numerous stressors that coral reefs are exposed to to get a better idea of the overall risks to these ecosystems. This has major implications for our local Hawaiian coral reefs that are critical to local biodiversity, culture, fisheries and tourism.

The research team will focus on finding singles types corals to find those most likely to survive under unsuitable conditions. In addition, he will try to find out which ones are the most vulnerable find suitable solutions.
